It was still set on Eternia and still centered around Castle Greyskull, which was still overseen by the Sorceress - and Skeletor and his right-hand woman Evil-Lyn did still covet conquering it. Starring Swedish adonis Dolph Lundgren ( The Expendables, Universal Soldier, Rocky IV) as the virtuous and heroic He-Man and genuinely respected actor Frank Langella ( Robot & Frank, Frost/Nixon, Dave) as the villainous and power-mad Skeletor, the film did resemble the cartoon series in the basic details. In 1987, Cannon Films - the great, long-defunct schlock factory responsible for some of the best bad movies of the 1980s - released a live-action version of the wildly popular cartoon TV series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
